Floor repair method

Abstract

A repair method for repairing a floor, the floor consisting of a cover stratum and a base stratum, the cover stratum having an upper surface and a lower surface, the base stratum having an upper surface, the lower surface of the cover stratum being fixedly attached to the upper surface of the base stratum, the cover stratum having a damaged area, the damaged area consisting of an aperture having an upper and a lower end, the aperture extending from the upper surface of the cover stratum to the lower surface of the cover stratum, the repair method comprising the steps of painting a section of the upper surface of the base stratum, the section painted spanning across the lower end of the aperture; pouring filler into the aperture; and, pouring adhesive into the filler.

I claim: 
     
       1. A repair method for repairing a floor, the floor comprising a cover stratum and a base stratum, the cover stratum having an upper surface and a lower surface, the base stratum having an upper surface, the cover stratum having a damaged area, the damaged area comprising an aperture, the aperture having a side wall, an upper end, and a lower end, the aperture extending from the upper surface of the cover stratum to the lower surface of the cover stratum, the repair method comprising the steps of: (a) painting a section of the upper surface of the base stratum, the section painted spanning across the lower end of the aperture;   (b) pouring filler into the aperture; and,   (c) pouring adhesive into the filler.   
     
     
       2. The repair method of claim 1, wherein the step of pouring filler comprises selecting a material from the group consisting of sodium bicarbonate powder, calcium carbonate powder, silica powder, and corn starch powder. 
     
     
       3. The repair method of claim 1, wherein the step of pouring adhesive comprises selecting a liquid from the group consisting of methyl based cyanoacrylate ester adhesives and or ethyl based cyanoacrylate adhesives. 
     
     
       4. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of painting the section of the upper surface of the base stratum comprises selecting a liquid from the group consisting of light colored tempera paints, light colored latex paints, and light colored enamel paints. 
     
     
       5. The repair method of claim 4, further comprising the step of trimming the side wall of the aperture, such step being performed prior to the painting step. 
     
     
       6. The repair method of claim 5, further comprising the step of sanding the wall of the aperture, such step being performed prior to the painting step. 
     
     
       7. The repair method of claim 6, further comprising the step of troweling the filler to form an upper filler surface co-extensive with the upper surface of the cover stratum, such troweling step being performed prior to the step of pouring adhesive. 
     
     
       8. The repair method of claim 7, further comprising the step of drying the filler, such step being performed after the step of pouring adhesive. 
     
     
       9. The repair method of claim 8, further comprising the step of sanding the upper filler surface, such step being performed after the drying step. 
     
     
       10. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of painting the section of the upper surface of the base stratum comprises selecting a liquid from the group consisting of water based tempera paints, and water based latex paints. 
     
     
       11. The repair method of claim 10, further comprising the step of trimming the side wall of the aperture, such step being performed prior to the painting step. 
     
     
       12. The repair method of claim 11, further comprising the step of sanding the wall of the aperture, such step being performed prior to the painting step. 
     
     
       13. The repair method of claim 12, further comprising the step of troweling the filler to form an upper filler surface co-extensive with the upper surface of the cover stratum, such troweling step being performed prior to the step of pouring adhesive. 
     
     
       14. A repair method for repairing a floor, the floor comprising a cover stratum and a base stratum, the cover stratum having an upper surface and a lower surface, the base stratum having an upper surface, the upper stratum having a damaged area, the repair method comprising the steps of: (a) cutting and removing a section of the cover stratum, such removed section of the cover stratum including the damaged area, such removal of such section forming an aperture having a side wall, an upper end, and a lower end, the aperture extending from the upper surface of the cover stratum to the lower surface of the cover stratum;   (b) painting a section of the upper surface of the base stratum, the section painted spanning across the lower end of the aperture;   (c) pouring filler into the aperture; and,   (d) pouring adhesive into the aperture.   
     
     
       15. The repair method of claim 14, wherein the step of pouring filler comprises selecting a material from the group consisting of sodium bicarbonate powder, calcium carbonate powder, silica powder, and corn starch powder. 
     
     
       16. The repair method of claim 14, wherein the step of pouring adhesive comprises selecting a liquid from the group consisting of methyl based cyanoacrylate esters and ethyl based cyanoacrylate esters. 
     
     
       17. The method of claim 14, wherein the step of painting the section of the upper surface of the base stratum comprises selecting a liquid from the group consisting of light colored tempera paints, light colored latex paints, and light colored enamel paints. 
     
     
       18. The repair method of claim 17, further comprising the step of sanding the wall of the aperture, such step being performed prior to the painting step. 
     
     
       19. The repair method of claim 18, further comprising the step of troweling the filler to form an upper filler surface co-extensive with the upper surface of the cover stratum, such troweling step being performed prior to the step of pouring adhesive. 
     
     
       20. The method of claim 14, wherein the step of painting the section of the upper surface of the base stratum comprises selecting a liquid from the group consisting of water based tempera paints, and water based latex paints. 
     
     
       21. The repair method of claim 20, further comprising the step of trimming the side wall of the aperture, such step being performed prior to the painting step.
